This week we have seen the amazing Colonel Tom raising over £33 million pounds for charity and celebrating his 100th birthday; as well as the birth of the prime minister's sixth child; and we have had the delight of seeing lots of your wonderful work on Seesaw. What a week it's been. Even the sun couldn't stay away for long.
